SUBJECTIVITY KIDNAPPING: REVISITING THE CONCEPT AND APPREHENDING THE REAL

ABSTRACT

The concept of the kidnapping of subjectivity, developed by Faria and Meneghetti (2007), has been used to explain intra-organizational phenomena, especially when the objects of study are labor relations. Many reflections have already resulted from these studies, however, when we analyze the concept itself, we see that it expresses the appearance of the phenomenon, whereas in essence it is the production of a subjectivity corresponding to the metabolic mode of production of capital and its private appropriation. Thus, the goal of this essay is to discuss the concept of "subjectivity kidnapping" and the reality it proposes to explain.
